Apologies for the recent silence (although compared to my previous multi-month hiatii (hiatuses?) this is not so bad.) but moving is never fun and I still haven't gotten around to hooking my computer up to the Internet (although, interestingly, I did spend a few minutes hooking up J's computer to the router. But since it's not a wireless router, nor do I have wireless Internet on my laptop, I still need to buy myself an ethernet cable so to I can be connected. And I haven't done that yet.

But I'm totally out of the old place and mostly unpacked in the new (although the guy at the furniture store still hasn't delivered my shelf and armoire yet. grr.), which is good. And I'm gradually settling into a pattern.

On Sunday, I went back to the old apartment to clean up and bring over the last few items. (Items left behind include:

one (1) crappy tv/vcr, remote control not included, vcr not in working condition*
three (3) tea cups
two (2) matching plates
one (1) package of Boca Burgers (in the freezer)
one (1) package of Dannon Lite n' Fit (in the fridge; I was totally gonna bring it with me but forgot about it)
one (1) incomplete silverware set, various forks and knives not included

I do hope these things go to good use some day. If you're looking for a nice 2BR in Astoria, let me know -- I'll pass on my landlord's number.)

Having lived in that apartment for almost two years and having vacuumed my room aproximately four times (and none of those times having been in the last six months) there was a lot of dust. Dust bunnies, actually, with their big dust bunny families, which appeared to be breeding at the rate of, well, bunnies. Kind of gross. And not actually that easy to vacuum up when your piddly vacuum cleaner gets clogged at the site of a dusty clump.

But now I'm gone.

*I wasn't going to leave this in the apartment, but the landlord was nervous he'd get a ticket if we left too much crap on the sidewalk. Fair enough. I do kind of feel bad leaving that stuff on the curb, since electronics should really be specially recycled.
